Yes, and I own many today. I started with the purchase of the Atari 800 myself from paper-route money and I stayed Atari until mid 90s when I switched to Mac for business purposes. I was never into Amiga when I was younger but never thought it was a bad system either. I found both Atari and Amiga were nice but the Atari spoke to me more I guess and that is what I stayed. Earlier this year I purchased my first Amigas and they were fun to tinker with but I have found my retro heart prefers Atari so I sold them all and have been collecting my Atari systems since making a small Atari room to play in at the old age of 44.
I must admit comparing Amiga A1000 to the Atari 520ST of the time the Amiga was a much nicer machine in many aspects. I stuck with my Atari 800 and 8 bit until 1990 when I got married and finally moved up to the Mega 2 ST. I thought it looked much nicer than Amigas of the time and fit my needs nicely. Used the Spectre GCR by Gadgets by Small to run my Mac apps.
Then I moved to Apple mid 90s and been on them since. So, I am a Machead but still find Atari fun to collect and use as well as NeXTcubes.
Maybe when the X1000 comes out I will become more a Amiga fan but at this time, it just did not move me the way Atari or NeXT did. Maybe it was just because I was raised on Atari and you like what you had as a kid. I am sure if I ended up doing the Commodore 64 I would have went Amiga but at the time, I thought the Atari 800 was a nicer system than any other 8 bit line so that is the way my young mind took me.
